Question

How many daughter cells are produced from meiosis of one parent cell?

Answer 1

Actually no daughter cells are produced by meiosis

Explanation:

Meiosis produces four half cells or sex cells (haploid), that are used in sexual reproduction. Sex cells are haploid so that when the sperm and ovum fuse, a diploid zygote is formed. None of the four half cells are identical to the "mother" cell or to each other.

Meiosis in producing differences in genetic make up creates the vast variations found in populations. That is done by independent assortment and by chiasmata of non-sister chromatids.

Answer 2

Four.

Explanation:

Daughter cells are produced after cell division such as vegetative (mitosis) and reproductive cell division (meiosis).

Two identical diploid daughter cells result from mitosis.

Whilst meiosis products are four distinct haploid /daughter/ cells.
